In what world is Russia maximally sanctioned? Compare sanctions In Iran to Russia and I think you'll find Russia is barely sanctioned at all.

The Russian economy crashed around as much as Iran's. But as it is Russia-US trade is basically zero.
Russia simply cannot be targeted by secondary sanctions though. It's just a much bigger economy that has a much bigger impact in worldwide trade. So the maximum possible extent before governments start clamping down on secondary sanctions is much lower.
